From my past nightmares with Princo they scratch very easy and after a few uses the Layers start to fall off and most of the Quality DVD Writers won't even recognise Princo and before Pioneer sorted the firmware for the A06 it wouldn't even write them at 4x only 2x !!!

I don't know if anybody else has this problem. But I just bought a Pioneer DVR-107D and 10 Princo DVD-R (White). Pretty much the second I hit the BURN button I got an error msg from Nero 6 "Internal Error". At this point the blank itself is stuff and not workable anymore, even though it does seem like there is a single data being written to it.

I have also try burning an ISO with Alcohol 100%, again same thing unsuccessful and stuff up the media. At this point I was a bit worry not sure if is the media or the drive. Try 6 times burning with different stuff and different software all end up with the same result.

Finally went out and got myself a new blank RiDATA according to Nero is manufacture RiTEKG04. Burn some data with Nero WORKS BEAUTIFUL....

PRINCO SUCKS...STAY AWAY AS FAR AS POSSIBLE

P.S.

Just so ppl know, I also try the Princo media with a Panasonic SW9572 Burning. With this burning everything works fine, not a single problem. I burn some DivX episode one 1 Media and some Data onto another. Everything works fine, I was able to play the DVD episode on my Stand alone DVD Player and I were able to read my data files. However to read these disc on my PC I was only able to access it through Panasonic Burning itself and nothing else. Try reading on my Panasonic DVD-ROM and Pioneer DVR-107D was unsuccessful. Neither of these can read the disc at ALL!!

Princo are not good... ok, they play on many players, but I guess that's because my Toshiba SDR-5112 (4X) burns them at 1x, no matter the speed I select from the software. Even the Toshiba support said they're low-quality media.

BTW, I've found Arita 4x (Ritek G04) and -best- Verbatim Azo 4x original, full branded. They burn at 4x and are played back on every stand-alone player I've seen (6 players until now). Not tested on PS2 or Xbox, though.

I've found the Verbatim original spindle 25-pack for just 45 Euro at a local shop!!! I'm glad to spend 50% more, but get all the quality!

I am into cheap media and I found both LongTen and ONIDTECH are cheaper and better than PRINCO, all my Princo burn have higher error near the end where the other two don't have the problem, tho all three media play well with my Apex 1500 stand alone.

I would like to seriously smack whoever is manufacturing that ONIDTECH media, upside the head. That stuff is utter crap! The only good thing about the media is that it looks cool... and that just isn't enough. I got barely usable results from burning it at 2x, but 4x returned an error right away! (using my Pioneer DVR-107).

As for the Longten code, it could be manufactured by anyone. There is some pretty good stuff going around too, but also some pretty crappy stuff. Just be wary.

I forgot to mention, if u use Liteon to burn Princo and Arita media (without changing booktype), all backups can still be played back on ur DVD-ROM of ur computer, but it won't work on ur stand along DVD players.

I don´t know if someone can help me but I´m having some problens to burn DVDs. I just read now that the cause of my problems could be the media (Princo 4x with white face ) and tomorrow I´ll by a new brand.....I´m using LG 4120B and I just bought 50 pack of Princo 4x to test it and I burned 2 DVDs (Underworld and The Last Samurai) with Princo and both worked fine, but I tried to burn Kill Bill 1 and 2 and when I tried to play in my dvdplayer, after the protection warning (10 sec) the dvd freeze...even in my dvd-rom doesnt work......and this only happens with kill bill 1 and 2.....I thought the problem could me my computer or the nero version so I reinstall all my computer....I´m glad that the problem could be the media and not with my computer or my dvdplayer.

I didnt try others movies because I´m not sure what is the problem.....CAN YOU HELP ME ?

I just want to know if someone had the same problem and what did you do to solve it....
